The Supportive Supervision of IPC/I Manual for Supervisors of Frontline Workers in Immunization (Supportive Supervision Manual) is designed to help supervisors support FLWs to improve IPC in immunization services. It takes into account common supervision practices, obstacles to supervision, and IPC/I-specific needs and information.
Frontline workers (FLWs) get a lot of questions about immunization. This resource was developed to help FLWs respond to some of the most common questions with accurate information and using simple and concise language, which follows the principles of effective interpersonal communication (IPC). Effective IPC builds trust, and trust between the provider and caregiver can be the determining factor in whether a child gets fully vaccinated.
